I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

I've had googlemaps integration and GPS on my Helio since I got it in August (though admittedly, the rest of it, and the interface, is not nearly as pretty as the iPhone), and it is quite nice. Though I also like having a real keyboard. OTOH, I've had it almost a year now.

But when my contract is over, I'll probably get an iPhone, yes. :)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The big news, is $399 to $199 -- we think we can check off more affordable.

Does this mean there will be a 32GB version as well?

I could probably get away with 8GB if I only put podcasts on it. I still have a 16GB Touch and a 30GB classic to hold the entire library for long trips...

(Also, Dear Steve, Please to be updating apple.com now. Kthxbye.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Just 8 and 16GB, from what I'm seeing -- I think "399 to 199" is meant to be the price drop, not the range of models (but the tuaw live feed made the same guess and then corrected themselves a hair later).

OH. That makes sense.

That's good. Not good enough for me to get rid of my 8GB for the 16, but good. If I wait another 6 mos, maybe they'll come out with a 32 :)

I don't feel the need to upgrade. Yet.

Hey. New board.

Ugh. My Treo died last week and I'm using a cheap cheap cheap oldschool candybar phone. Now I have to wait a full month for the new iPhone.

It may not be worth it for me, despite the WANT. I want a more functional phone sooner, and I do love the Centros a lot.

I was expecting a price drop, but I was hoping it would be bigger models with the price drop in the form of allowing phone company subsidies. Because then I could've talked myself into waiting until next time I qualify for a phone upgrade. Straight-up cheaper makes me much more oosty.

Yeah, at that price point, I think I'll be waiting in a line outside an Apple store on the evening of July 10th.
